Bellator officials today announced the promotion will now air a one-hour highlights show each Saturday (10 p.m. ET/PT) on mun2, a bilingual cable station geared toward young Latinos that’s available in 34 million U.S. households.

Bellator’s recently commenced second season currently airs live on FOX Sports Net (92 million homes) with weekend highlights shows on NBC (112 million) and Telemundo (62 million).

“From Day 1, Bellator has recognized and respected Hispanic consumers as some of the greatest MMA fans in the world — particularly young Latinos,” stated Bellator founder and CEO Bjorn Rebney, who aired Bellator’s first season on the Spanish-language ESPN Deportes. “Given this, expanding our alliance with NBC and Telemundo to air weekly highlight shows on mun2 is a perfect fit for Bellator. We’re excited to become a part of the mun2 programming lineup and family and are proud to reaffirm our commitment to the countless Latino Bellator fans from coast to coast.”

mun2, which is owned by NBC Universal (along with NBC and Telemundo), will air the Bellator shows in English.

The cable station, which launched in 1993 as GEMS Television and was renamed/relaunched as mun2 in 2001, has also aired soccer and World Wrestling Entertainment, as well as other general entertainment offerings.

Bellator’s next event, Bellator 14, takes place Thursday at the Chicago Theatre in Illinois. The event features opening-round matchups in three of Bellator’s four season-two eight-man tournaments.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
